Is there any way to obtain a marriage date (other than paying) in Cuyahoga County/Cleveland, Ohio? I have Ancesrty.com and I can't come up with a marriage date...The names are Antimo Laudato & Teresa Guidicianni.. I know that they were married around 1914.....I do not know if they were married in a church or in a court house.....On Court View 2000 Cleveland, Ohio site the records show their names but no actual date...and they have Teresa last name listed as Gindizianni........Any info would be greatly appreciated...Sal4

My experience has been that requesting copies of documents from the Cleveland Archives is useless. I have sent info request, check for amount, return envelope and no response. Check never cashed. I visited there once and archives seemed very understaffed. Actually one of the worst I have been in.

I have contacted the probate court for records found in the index. I think they charged me about $2.00 per record (this was 5 years ago) and sent them quickly.

Wldspirt..........Thank you for looking....I looked also on LDS with no luck.....

Debbie....Are you from Cleveland?...... I have also called the Cleveland Catholic Diocese and they also never get back to me.....I don't know which parish they could of been married at if they were even married in a church, and who even knows what part of Cleveland they were living in at the time.....I have to start the census searches tonight........I have a cousin that is a priest & he is here visiting and it is driving him crazy trying to find out the marriage date....He mentioned that he may call a friend that is a priest in Cleveland to see if he can get us the info.....Thanks for your help also......Sal4

I don't live in Ohio, but have researched an ancestor there, back to 1830.

I would suggest calling the probate court to check on the price of the record. You have the names and number from the index. Realize you asked for no cost options, but it may only cost a few $ to get the info from the court.

If you have access you can try historical newspapers. Ohio has alot of papers available. Often marriages are published, the list comes from the court. Genealogybank and newspaperarchives are two options.

I do have the index# and I just may contact the Probate Court.....I just wonder do the cemetery records show the marriage info? When my Father passed away we had to give a copy of my parents marriage certificate to the Funeral Home.....I just may check with Lakeview Cemetery..........Thanks ...........Sal4

I really don't know if there was an obit or not...........I'm just starting my search on the Laudato & Giudicianni side of the family........All of the children of this family have passed and I need to talk to some of the older Grandchildren to see what light they can shed on the family.........My husband never knew his Grandfather & his Grandmother passes when he was about 3-4 yrs old.........Thanks...........Sal4

Another suggestion....naturalization records. I recently came across a naturalization for a widow who listed the husbands birth date, place and marriage information as well as his date of death.

I really don't know if either were naturalized, this is a new search project for me.........Antimo died when my mother in law was 12 yrs old, so about 1943-1946.....I really don't think that Teresa became a citizen...she couldn't read, write or speak English from the stories my mother in law use to tell my kids about her childhood........They were very poor and the older siblings had to support them after the father died...

Well if you need any help in locating records just ask..... I know our members always come thru in a pinch!!
And I think the death certificate I saw stated 1943....would have to double check.

Thank You for your help!!! I'm starting my search on Ancestry.com as we speak......... I have always relied on the members here at IG and they have always been so helpful, without the members I would never have the history of my family coming to America.........and if I can be of help to anyone please let me know.....Sal4

Contrary to popular belief, not all Italian given names have Christian or classical roots. Many names encountered in older records are almost whimsical, and some cannot be translated into Latin or any other language. In order to avoid possible mistranscription of a given name with which the research...
